NEW YORK (Reuters) -Former champion Daniil Medvedev was far from his best but still did enough to dispatch Fabian Marozsan 6-3 6-2 7-6(5) on Thursday to reach the U.S. Open third round.
Medvedev won an opening set that included six breaks of serve across nine games, with the Hungarian's serve failing to pack a punch and the Russian's uncharacteristically tentative serving leading to four double faults.
